ABB CMF motor circuit fuses can be used for medium voltage (MV) contactors and switch disconnectors which are used to control and protect AC motor circuits, 3.6-12kV, 63-315A.
Medium voltage fuses, manufactured by ABB, suitable for 3.6kV (3.3kV) up to 11/12kV motor circuit applications in accordance with specification IEC60282-1 (IEC 282-1) and IEC60644 (IEC 644) and the dimensions are in accordance with DIN 43625 and IEC 60282-1.
- IEC 60644: High-voltage fuses used in motor circuits must be able to withstand, without deterioration, the repeated surges associated with motor starting.
Although MV-HV motor fuses are normally run at a stationary current, which is much lower than the fuse rated current, the low-loss characteristics of the ABB CMF fuses make them especially suitable in compact contactor compartments.

âž¡ IEC 60282-1:2020 applies to all types of high-voltage current-limiting fuses designed for use outdoors or indoors on alternating current systems of 50 Hz and 60 Hz and of rated voltages exceeding 1000V. IEC 60644:2009 applies primarily to fuse-links used with motors started direct-on-line on alternating current systems of 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Standardizes time-current characteristics to formulate additional pulse withstand requirements regarding testing and to give guidance for the selection of fuse-links to be used with motors.Â
